Kenny Rodgers Dies at 81 and the Music World is Truly Saddened
Country music legend Kenny Rogers died Saturday, March 21, 2020; leaving the music world stunned and saddened. Amid a global pandemic of Covid19, his is the kind of voice and presence that music lovers needed to hold on to. Kenny Rogers was bigger than great. He was a good man with a lot of talent. Judging by the outpouring on all social media platforms, he clearly had fans from all races and the world. Kenny Rogers, well known for his many hit songs, including arguably the best Country Music song of all time, The Gambler, will be greatly missed. But oh, what a collection he has left us to enjoy and heal our souls. I guess you knew when to fold ’em and walk away. Rest In Peace Great One.

You never know how much you love somebody until they’re gone. I’ve had so many wonderful years and wonderful times with my friend Kenny, but above all the music and the success I loved him as a wonderful man and a true friend. pic.twitter.com/hIQLIvt8pr

RIP @_KennyRogers Thanks for all the music and doing the best version of “when you love someone”, (and of course “the gambler” which is one of the best songs ever). Peace #KennyRogers

Kenny Rogers’ Final Tweet, March 10, 2020
"We Are The World." A special experience I loved 35 years ago & think of often. The first night of recording studio tracks (1/22/85) took place at my Lion Share Recording Studio in L.A. This original sheet music belongs to Ken Kragen, who managed me then & organized the event. pic.twitter.com/XgYSlHr8ro
